ALL MUST ADMIT IT NOW
ANGELS HAVE "CLASS"
Magnate and Player Alike Forced to Cede 1913 Coast League Pennant to
Los Angeles Wolves for Second Place Predicted.
BY ROSrOE FAWCKTT.
WE might us well all admit It. l.os
Angeles hus the class of the Pa
cific Coast League clubs, and
unless a second Times building ex
plosion kills a half dozen of Dillon's
athletes they are almost" sure to cop
the 1913 Al Baum burgee.
Fielder Jones, former boss of the
Chicago world's champs, says the An
gels have the strongest defensive team
he lias ever seen in the Coast league.
He has doped Dillon's bunch right.
And when you throw in a bunch of
good clouters like Maggart, Ellis, How
ard, Page and Moore, and shake well
with worlds of speed, the result la
inevitable.
The Angwllc twirling staff was
doped weak at the start of the year,
but Toxer's "come back" and Ryan's
sensational performing have upset
those calculations.
Dillon's combination Is playing such
aggressive, hard-to-figure baseball to
dav that frequent and material changes
In his lineup seem to have no effect
on Its efficiency. Last week Moore
and Page were both out, but the in
field automatically adjusted itself to
the new arrangements and kept right
on Its even tenor of the going.
Fielder Jones does not like to be
quoted on Pacific Coast League mat
ters; in view of his executive relations
with the Northwestern circuit but it
may be of some interest to local fans
to know that Mr. Jones expects Sac
ramento to finish in second position,
behind the Angels.
lie attributes the strange success of
the Oakland club to its coterie of clean
up hitters. "I never saw so many bats
men on on club witli a clean-up wal
lop in the stick," said Mr. Jones yester
day. "Coy, ZacVu-r. Hess, Hetling, Cook
and Leard are the sort to be feared at
all times. One good extra-base hlt

England still retained the Davis trophy,
America losing again in the challenge
round to the United Kingdom in 1906.
Australia provoked the real upset in
1907, when the Antipodeans took the
cup "down under" for a stay of five
years' duration. There was no play
in 1910, but England and America both
lost again In 1911. Last year England
lured the trophy back to England.
then Harry Pollok, Welsh's manager,
doesn't know it, because here is an
excerpt from Pollok's latest literary
effort :
"Dear Sir: When Freddy Welsh boxed
at Edmonton recently. Bob McDonald,
manager of the athletic club, offered
to hang up a purse of $25,000 for a
championship bout between Ritchie and
Welsh. A telegram was sent to Nolan
at Portland and he was also informed
that Welsh was willing to box on a
winner-tuke-all basis and also to make
a $5000 wager on the side.
"Nolan has never replied and the
answer Is very plain. He never did
have any trouble in adding two and
two together, but he was always a
good dopester of pugilistic form. That
is why he decided to take the other
side of the street. Yours verv truly,
"HARRY POLLOK, Vancouver, B. C."
While Pollok's braggadocio suggests
that Nolan is afraid to stack his pro
tege against Welsh, after all Nolan
has little to fear. Welsh cannot hit
hard enough to break an egg shell, and
while he Is a clever boxer, Ritchie
gave him a stiff battle when the Cal
ifornia lad was just breaking Into the
professional ring game.
Since then Ritchie certainly has im
proved, while the veteran Welsh re
mains about where he has always been
clever with his dukes, but not at
all to be feared as a knocker-out.
Ritchie may be shying around the
corners from the pride of Pontypridd,
but when the time comes for a tossup
between Welsh and Anderson it will be
amusing to see the emphasis with
which the Nolan caravan will swerve
off to the northward.
The motion picture rights, too. will
assure an early meeting between the
British and the American lightweight
kings. Fight Alms are barred in the
LTnited States, but not In Canada, Eng
land and Australia and a small fortune
awaits the Intrepid promoter lucky
enough to gain knuckle hold on the pic

F snipe shooting had been the order

stead of the annual track and field
championships of the Pacific Northwest
Association, undoubtedly success would
have ccowned the efforts of the winged
"M" boosters. But rain is not condu

drowned even those In the grandstand,
yesterday's programme was halted.
Two events were run off.
"It will be absolutely out of the ques
tion to continue in that mud," an
nounced Referee T. M. Dunne, follow
ing the 30-minute cloudbursL "The
various coaches have agreed to lay
over in Portland until Monday, and the
meet will then be continued, starting
at 2:30 o'clock."
William Schmitt, chairman of the
track committee of the club, believes
the postponement to Monday will prove
beneficial. Several hundred enthu
siasts filled one section of the big
grandstand yesterday, but the rain kept
hundreds away, and, as the cream of
the Northwestern college and club ath
letes is assembled here, Monday Is ex
pected to lure a record crowd to the
beautiful stadium.

FLLOWERS of tennis In all parts
of the world are awaiting with in
terest the results of the final and chal
lenge rounds In the international fuss
ing over the Davis cup, emblematic
of the world's tennis championship.
America's success in the preliminary
matches has been decidedly encourag
ing to loyal sons of Uncle Sam, be
cause the world-wide competition has
not been going altogether to our liking
the last several years.
The United States and the United
Kingdom competed for the cup the
opening year in 1900, and the American
court expert retained the cup for two
succeeding seasons. In 1903. however,
the famous Doherty brothers tagged It
across the waters to England. After

seem to have another hold on the giddy
gonfalon, with Cleveland the most
probable runner-up. Nothing short of
a Japanese invasion can stop the Mack
men from enjoying their October rake
off. The Boston world's champions have
not been right all year. Boston's
showing accentuates the deal that Wal

looked like pennant contenders this
Spring, but in actual service they

Carl Wolff, the big Multnomah Club

Counsel for Hood River Districts
Believe Statute Xot Binding;
on Companies.
HOOD RIVER. Or., June 14. (Spe
cial.) In Hood River County, the only
county In the state in which bonded
irrigation systems have been estab
lished, universal opposition to the bill
recently passed by the Legislature and
regulating the levy and collection of
assessments is expressed, and It Is prob
able the two local districts will enter
into litigation to contest the validity
of the new law. The property owners
in the Hood River bonded irrigation
district, the first district established
in the state and the only one at the
present time with an outstanding issue
of bonds, will meet on Friday evening,
June 27, when they will decide whether
or not their attorney. Judge A. J.
Derby, shall contest the law.
However, it is practically assumed
that the validity of the law will be
questioned. Judge Derby and E. E.
Stanton, the latter .president of the
board of director of the Hood River
Irrigation District, are both of the
opinion that the new law will not bind
the system, since it will impair the
contracts that the district has outstand
ing Under the old law, the district
had its own collector and assessor. The
assessments urere collected in Decem
ber and were thus available for the
January payment of Interest. Under the
new law, the toherlff collects the assess
ments with the state and county tax
in April, too late to meet the January
Interest payment.
The county sent lobbyists to the Leg
islature last Winter, who urged that
the bill be defeated. Governor West was
appealed to to veto it. However, the
; efforts of the lobbyists failed in both
instances.
C. R. Bone, president of the East
Fork Irrigation District, which is pre
paring to make a. sale of bonds, says
his district will join the other local
system in the contest litigation.
